QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) BTW, anyone else think Gooch might be hitting this good because Pods is never in front of him?? Except for the lack of home runs, the Gooch was hitting like .310 or so for the first month or two of 2005 also. I think he's just a good starter.

Back to Back. Paulie, your turn.

That's about a month or so before his first home run of last season.

The good news for the kid is this...after Tom Cruise dies in a tragic battle against a lamppost he mistakes for Xenu, the kid will have enough money to afford all the therapy he or she ever needs.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:25 AM) Sox need to win every series. Mission Accomplished. However, they need to win today. We need a win today to make up for 1 of those first 2 series which we didn't win.

Tigers Lineup: Granderson, CF Polanco, 2B IRoid: C Ordonez, RF Young: DH Shelton, 1B Guillen, SS Monroe, LF Infante, 3B

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:45 AM) If it's proven that these allegations are false, this 'victim' needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That's probably going to wind up being just as impossible as prosecuting any of the alleged rapists...simply because it's still going to be a he-said, she-said case if there's no more evidence. The ol' "One person's rape is another person's enjoyable evening", or something like that. She may very well think she was raped, and either have the wrong person, or she may have said no but too late, or something crazy like that. The same things that make prosecution of the boys difficult will make prosecuting her for filing a false report equally difficult.

Zion and Bryce Canyon national park offer some spectacular rock formations. There is a lot of excellent camping and hiking up in the mountains.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) He'll more than likely be boo'ed. I'm sure there are at least a few Bears fans at Wrigley. That has to help.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:36 AM) Thome is currently at 435 HRs (5 this season), Big Frank is at 449 HRs (1 this season). Do you expect Thome to surpass Thomas this year on the All-Time HR list? I think he will do it by the All-Star break. I think he will do it by May.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:24 AM) If McCarthy took over the closer role, then Jenks would be a set-up guy, his initial role when he joined the team. You're right about the fact the Sox would then basically have no "long" man. Someone who could go more than 3 innings in the bullpen. But that might not be necessary with the calibur of the White Sox rotation, although Vazquez has been known to have very short outings from time to time, and that could blow the bullpen out, but Buerhle follows him, and he's pretty much a guarantee to go deep into a game. In theory, I think Thornton should have the ability to go 3+ innings, he's also a former starter. Jenks is also, but he loses velocity after about the first inning, and especially after the 2nd, which is mainly why the Sox made him a closer. But that said...if we hit the 10th inning and BMac hasn't worked yet, I have no doubt at all about who I want on the mound through the end of the 17th. I still think Bobby will be fine.

Big Jon...time to step it up big time.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 07:40 AM) he struggled in 2005 in 2 big league starts, but he also led the minors in ERA In what sort of ballpark?

And Hafner hits his 6th...

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 06:17 PM) Expelling 12 million criminals who are a burden to our social services and contribute FAR less than they take is the only appropriate measure to take. A few weeks ago, I heard Senator Kennedy pass along an estimate for how much it would cost to actually expel all 11-20 million of these immigrants, in terms of rounding them up, shipping, etc. The number he gave was something like $240 billion. A Center for American Progress study in 2005 estimated the cost at $210 billion over 5 years.

Cleveland's pitching is getting pounded tonight by Seattle. Byrd gave up 6 runs in 3.2 innings, and Graves gave up a grand slam to Richie Sexson.

QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) i would like to see jenks get the day off tomorrow, even if it is a save situation. He had an offday yesterday. When he pitched 2 days in a row Sunday & Monday, his best performance of the year came Monday.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) PFT is full of s*** Culpepper is ahead of schedule, he may not be ready for the opener but theres no way he misses the entire season When the injury first happened, the best guess was that he'd be back at the midpoint of next season, but since then, you're right, all of the news we've heard has been pretty good, "ahead of schedule" stuff. I don't think Miami would have given up a 2nd rounder if they thought at the time he'd miss the whole season. Not when Brees was still available. The only way this is true is if DC hit some sort of major roadblock in his rehab.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Contreras = Dominator!!!!!!!!! When was the last time he lost anyway?!!? Interestingly enough, I believe the answer to that question is game 1 of the ALCS, where Paul Byrd beat the White Sox 3-2.

Rockies' reliever Mike DeJean has hit the 15 day DL. Aubrey Huff left the game last night with a knee problem of some sort. Ben Sheets threw 5.2 scoreless innings in a minor league rehab start, and may be back this weekend. Zach Duke supposedly is sporting some obvious flaws in his delivery that the Pirates are trying to correct. Perhaps they should try sending him to Cooper? Matt Lawton's steroid suspension is over. Rangers Rookie 2nd baseman Ian Kinsler is hitting the DL with a dislocated left thumb. Gary Matthews Jr. is coming off the DL to take his place.

Crisp signs 3 year extension with Boston.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 02:22 PM) I think those are two different ones. That epidsode is actually a damn good one too. No, that's the one where Homer's car gets illegally parked at 1 world trade plaza. I haven't seen that one aired since One World Trade plaza ceased to exist.
